3M Nexcare ColdHot Therapy Comfort Pack Cold/Heat Bag 10x265cm, 1 pc.

3M Nexcare ColdHot is a gel-based accessory that can be heated or frozen for different treatments. The main purpose of this product is to help minimise swelling and pain caused by injuries of any kind (sports injuries and pain due to overexertion or age).

Firstly, the product can be used cold to minimise swelling, inflammation and pain. This can be very beneficial if the injury has occurred recently. The cold causes the blood circulation to slow down a little, which greatly prevents bruising. In addition to this, it numbs the area so that the nerves are less active. As a result, the pain sensation will gradually disappear.

Secondly, heat relaxes, soothes and minimises pain. However, it is most effective when the injury has been going on for some time (a few hours or days). Heat creates a feeling of comfort in the body and improves blood flow. As more nutrients will reach the area, a better recovery can take place.

Other benefits of this accessory include the following:

• The gel is non-toxic, so it is not a danger if the pouch is damaged. However, it is not recommended to continue using it after this.
• The pouch is made of natural materials that are friendly to sensitive skin.
